Redbull Racing

“No driver could survive there,” says Sergio Pérez in an unfiltered testimony about his time alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull. The former teammate of the four-time world champion describes a deeply unbalanced environment where the second driver is systematically relegated to a supporting role. “Even Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc would struggle,” he insists, emphasizing that Red Bull’s entire structure is optimized around Verstappen—at the expense of sporting fairness. For Pérez, lasting four years alongside him wasn’t just success; it was an act of “survival.”
